GranTurismo S- Wanted

[bigbadwedge400]

Great news!! I managed to buy the car and sorted what we needed to do in the end. I'll post some pics on another new thread but to say I am a happy man is an understatement!!

Congratulations - share the details!

Thanks!! Here she is I was really drawn to this car as I love the interior. I know I'm unusual for saying this but I'm not a big fan of all black interiors and seeing as I love white cars that is always the most common! 2010, MC Shift, 3 owners, FMDSH etc. First bath yesterday!







Cheers!

Matt

Is that blue inside…White and blue does look perfect. Much better than boring old black.

It is indeed, it's what really attracted me to this car. Hard to picture the colour but it's blue seats with white stitching, blue mid dash with black top and bottom. Like this

Blue and white what a lovely combination love it.

You clearly know what you are doing, but I would say watch out spraying the wheels with cleaner (and even just water), in my experience it ultimately ends badly.

I do like a snowfoam picture (see my recent thread)

Looks lovely in that colour combo

I've always been super careful, certainly only use quality car washing product. No strong chemicals here... although my cars don't get much time between washes to get dirty !

That’s the best policy. Never really need wheel cleaning chemicals as regular shampoo washes mean there’s usually nothing too tough to get off!

Is insurer repairing or did you buy back?

Believe it or not other party suddenly decided she was indicating and that it turns out the accident was entirely my fault. **** still not had final decision back from insurers so decided to sort sime bits out got lucky in finding a door wing and wing mirror in the right colour bonus. After removing door and wing all hinges and brackets are in really gd shape. So just requires a decent body guy to pull rear quarter for me managed to secure that on a barter deal for a mid rise scissor lift so she will be back on the road as soon as insurers sort their end out. But pleased to say defines will not be getting written off.

Good result there.
When I took my 4200 to New Zealand the shippers damaged it before it left Somerset but put it in the container regardless.
They didn't know I was going to be working for the only Maserati Dealership there and repair it myself and that bought me a nice new Omega Seamster watch and got me some Tubis free too.

You wouldn't and it has.

I mean, it's not like Phil peddling his filthy French fetish for Renaults. The bloody long-haired hippy deviant.
